Guestbook

  1. A great great guy who was one of MY contractors. He always had a twinkle in his eyes, and one might have wondered what he might be up to. He might have a bit of an Irish leprechaun in him. He will be missed . Sympathy to family and friends.

  2. I just saw the death notice in the newspaper. I am a member of the Mclean Health Club . Ellie and I exercised together and introduced me to her husband. I had not realized that she had died until I read Lee’s obituary today. They were fine people and although I was 25 years younger I enjoyed them immensely. I had lived in Belmont, MA so we had common memories. I know you will miss them both. My sympathy to the family
